Persistent Dropbox pop-up notifications about files being online-only on Win11
My Win11 Dropbox continues to hammer me with Popups that say:
"Sync Status These files are online-only. To Open them, first move them into your Drop box folder."
I traced some of these files to my \Dropbox\dropbox.cache folder. I deleted it.
The Popups just kept Popping.
I deleted Dropbox App on Win11 and Reinstalled it. That did not help.
The Popups just kept Popping.
I cloned my Dropbox folder to my OneDrive ... it continues always say it is uploading 89 files.
It makes no progress uploading the 89 Files.
The Dropbox Popups Just Keep Popping.
Is there a fix? Thank you ....

Hi there, frnkc-6, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Which version of the Dropbox app do you currently have installed?
You can see that by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your system tray.
Keep me posted and we'll go from there.
- I'm using Dropbox version 2.38.165 on my current / clean Win11 PC.My PC is vanilla. The only unsual thing I do is clone Dropbox from timeto time as a subdirectory in my MS OpenDrive so I can see it any ANY device.As soon as I boot and log on, the Dropbox Popups start to Pop Up. Bing!@!!!Incessantly. Interminably. Inexorably. Insanely.Sync statusThese files are online-only.To Open them, first move them into your Dropbox folder.The only relieve I have is to go Task Manager and END all things Dropbox.Clearing the cache & Deleting Dropbox+Reinstalling Dropbox didn't help.
